THE WINTER GAMES. GO FOR THE GOLD

The finer points in training and preparing for winter driving conditions are reviewed. Vehicle maintenance and preparation are essential. Battery checks, fluid reservoir checks, and windshield wiper checks are also essential. Supplies should be packed in a trunk along with common tools in case of a break down. Tips are given on parking and taking off smoothly. Visibility problems, traction problems, skidding, and "getting stuck" are also discussed.
